xlaunch - GUI tool for configuring and starting XWin
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>

<B>xlaunch</B>

[
<I>-load</I>

|
<I>-run</I>

filename.xlaunch
]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

The <B>xlaunch</B> program is used to start the <B>Xwin</B> server.
<P>

If no .xlaunch configuration file is given on the command line,
<B>xlaunch</B> will present a GUI with the default configuration
for running <B>Xwin</B>.  On completing the configuration, you have the
option to run <B>Xwin</B> using that configuration, and/or to save that
configuration in a .xlaunch file for later use.
<P>

If the <B>-load</B> option is used, <B>xlaunch</B> will present a
GUI initialized with the configuration loaded from that file.
<P>

If the <B>-run</B> option is used, <B>xlaunch</B> will load the
<B>Xwin</B> server configuration from that file, and then run <B>Xwin</B>
using that configuration, and any clients specified by the configuration.
If the configuration specifies a local client to run, <B>xlaunch</B>
will wait until that client exits before exiting.
<P>

<B>xlaunch</B> is designed to be associated with the .xlaunch filename
extension by the Windows shell, so that the Edit and Open verbs use the
-load and -run actions, respectively.
